Poole is situated in the picturesque county of Dorset and is the world’s second largest natural harbor. The beaches here are considered some of the best in the country and if you want to own a property in the close by Sandbanks which overlooks Poole harbour, then it will cost you more than anywhere else in the UK.
There is a good selection of restaurants in Poole, many of which are situated surrounding the Quay and the majority are of a very good standard. So you have the delight of enjoying a meal while experiencing the breathtaking scenery.
Dorset has a lot of attractions and all the prime ones are a maximum half an hour’s drive from Poole. Opposite Poole Quay, is Brownsea Island which is an English Heritage Wildlife Preserve that offers many cheap priced cruises around the islands that encircle Poole Harbour. If you have a fair quantity of money to spend then you may want to consider chartering a boat and investigating the islands yourself. It is truly a delightful experience to journey around all the sites in your own time and at your own rate.
Bournemouth and Christchurch are only a stone’s throw away from Poole and they have all the major attractions you would demand from bigger towns and have more activities than anywhere else on the south coast. There are several theaters scattered around including the Lighthouse in Poole and the BIC Theater in Bournemouth which attracts some of the biggest names in show business as well as many concerts. Poole also features the largest leisure complex in the country which is called Tower Park. This colossal complex houses a huge array of services and entertainment including Bowling, Bingo, Cinemas, Arcades and many different restaurants to name but a few. If that does not suffice, there is Poole Stadium which houses one of the top UK Speedway teams, and runs other events such as Greyhound Racing.
